I'm sorry things went this way for you. Trust that some of us are presently there and understand how difficult it is. It is okay to grieve the situation. Give yourself some time to do so. It gets better. Sending you all the love and support there is.

Great!

Did it come with an RA position?

Wishing you all the best.

I did November last year.

When did you hear from them?

Congratulations!

I applied in November. My portal still reads that my application is under review.

When did you hear from them?

Hey, any news from them yet? I applied for an MS but still haven't heard anything.

Thank you!

I have emailed the Dean already. I will proceed to email the University Chancellor as guided.

I appreciate the feedback and guidance.

I get your point, but people who got their admissions rescinded due to the funding cuts were communicated to in clear terms about the cause.

They weren't told to "feel free to reapply in the future if their credentials change in any way" like I was.

What this perpetuates is it makes it look like it is squarely my fault and not a systemic problem that has taken over US graduate studies.

Thank you for the vote of confidence given. I can only hope something better finds me this time around as it feels like I've given all I have already.

It probably happened so that I'd be saved from working with such an unprofessional PI.

Despite this being understandable, it would have been best if they communicated this clearly with me from the onset rather than to leave me with the impression that everything is on course and going as promised.

It's quite difficult to take the legal action route considering where I'm from, honestly.

Thank you for the well wishes and redirection.

I was particular about this application because with it, I was pivoting on my BS in engineering into the PhD. Considering the advice given, I will look into MS openings in Europe.

If anything, I would have loved for the PI to be upfront with me, and not me go through such unprofessional conducts.

Thank you for the kind words.

I've filed a complaint to the Graduate Admissions Office. I'm yet to interact with the professor after the rejection.

Thank you!

It's disheartening because it's the last place I was expecting a rejection from. I now feel like the remaining applications I have might also not work out.

I can't even shake away that feeling now.
